Kerry said :”I felt like a million dollars in my Scarlett and Jo dress, and I got the best goody bag in town, but I am not sure how I will get this award back to Scotland! It’s a lethal weapon!”

It certainly looks as though Ms T had a great time at the 2016 Observer Food Monthly Awards where she was hobnobbing with Sue Perkins and Jay Rayner! The awards are sponsored by AO.com

Another Edinburgh worthy Social Bite which employs and supports homeless people was recognised in the outstanding achievement category.

Observer Food Monthly editor Allan Jenkins said: “This year’s OFM Awards reflect the fast-changing face of British food. Tonight’s awards have showcased the nation’s best bars, markets, cookbooks, cafes and restaurants, with winners from Belfast to Padstow and Edinburgh. It’s great to see our readers voting in tens of thousands in support of these local heroes.”
